set that I originally had my eye on.  I hate to see my 2nd choice go early
for a low price while the outcome of my first choice is in doubt.

$100 for a 1906 is one heck of an oddity.  I paid something like $38
including shipping for a brand new sealed copy about 6 months ago, and
I don't recall seeing one go over $50 at any other time.

Just goes to show you that auctions sometimes produce crazy prices,
especially open-ended auctions.  I doubt you'll see a 1906 go for $100
or close to it in the next year just like you won't see 6086 go for
well over $300 like it did a couple years ago.
